I think everyone here would love to see it happen. Hopefully within the next 5 years? NFL News Feed - The latest breaking news from across the league (http://views.washingtonpost.com/theleague/nflnewsfeed/2008/10/fenty-vows-to-have-redskins-back-in-city.html) mlmpetert 10-10-2008, 11:56 AM I guess this is one thing a young Mayor brings with him. I dont think DC has any term restrictions on Mayors so as long as he can keep office maybe this will be somthing he continues to push for. BDBohnzie 10-10-2008, 01:06 PM They've been talking about this for a while now. While the Skins own the stadium, I believe they have a land lease with Maryland that is extensive, and would be quite expensive to get out of. It also doesn't hurt that this talk comes up when the Skins are 4-1 and on a roll right now... XXVI 10-10-2008, 01:22 PM RFK Memorial Stadium, or Gibbs Field. I think it's hella fitting. Joe Gibbs needs to be enshrined. johnerotten 10-10-2008, 01:29 PM Joe Gibbs needs to be enshrined. i agree.if not gibbs maybe jack kent cooke.anybody think that this is a direct result of jerry jones opening what will be the league's biggest stadium next season in dallas? BDBohnzie 10-10-2008, 01:38 PM anybody think that this is a direct result of jerry jones opening what will be the league's biggest stadium next season in dallas? Nope. Snyder has been talking about building a stadium in DC that can host a Super Bowl for years now...it's just a matter of money and logistics. johnerotten 10-10-2008, 01:54 PM i never heard about him building another stadium but i did hear about him thinking of putting a roof on fed ex field to host a superbowl. i hope that the new stadium has a retracktable roof on it.i hate to think of the skins home games being inside all the time.

I dont know how possible that is though. The fact it says DC would try to work somehting out so we could use the land for free, and there is likely some good appreaciation of the Landover land value, i think makes it a real possability.

I'd probably cost far too much to retrofit a roof. At least relative what it would cost to just build a new stadium. I thought(i could totally be wrong) that Fenty basically got elected, and ran Tony Williams out of town, based on the platform that DC shouldn't have paid so much for the baseball stadium? This will certainly cost way more.
